Question

If Smart Async Sync is not used, which Cisco SD-WAN component is used to upload an authorized serial number file?

Options

AWAN Edge
BvManage
CvSmart
DvBond

Explanation

Without Smart Async Sync, vManage is the component responsible for uploading the authorized serial number file to authorize WAN Edge devices in the SD-WAN fabric.

Common mistakes.

A. WAN Edge is the data plane device being authorized - it cannot upload its own authorization file.
C. vSmart is the control plane responsible for routing policy distribution via OMP, not device authorization.
D. vBond is the orchestration plane that authenticates devices once they are already authorized, not the component that stores or uploads the serial file.

Concept tested. Cisco SD-WAN WAN Edge device authorization via vManage
